What differentiates Judaism from Catholicism is that things like divorce, and r”l, abortion, are viewed by Judaism as evils which are sometimes necessary. Now, divorce and abortion are nowhere near each other in terms of severity, as the latter involves the taking of a life, but our Torah is certainly not pro-divorce. It is written that the Mizbeach weeps when there is a divorce, but sometimes, when there are the utmost extentuating circumstances, divorce can be necessary, such as where there is abuse, fraud, psychological harm, etc. Likewise, while abortion is viewed as akin to murder, it is necessary under the most extentuating circumstances, i.e. when the mother will die from the pregnancy. This is the crucial difference between the two faiths- ours is a faith that is 100% committed to human life and the integrity of the family, but nonetheless releases that there can be cases where these become necessary evils.
